Organic geochemical evaluation of contamination tracers in deepwater well rock cuttings from the Mannar Basin, Sri Lanka
Abstract Geochemical data from rock-cutting samples can give rise to faulty interpretations due to contamination from drilling fluids used in modern deepwater petroleum exploration. In this study, oil-based drilling contaminants were removed by solvent extraction with dichloromethane and methanol (9...
